T ELEPHONE-TOLL-LINE SYSTEM- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 26, 1907.

' Applicatioufiled January 14,1902. Serial No- 89,665.

My invention relates to a telephone-tollline system, and has for its object to provide an improved toll-box in which the coin may be returned. to the de ositor if the central office cannot be signaled or if communication cannot behad with the desired arty.

Another object is to provi e improved electromagnetic mechanism for controllingthe disposition ofa coin within the toll-box, with circuits by which said mechanism can be operated from a distant point.

A third object is to provide improved supervisory signal apparatus for usewith the mechanism and circuits aforesaid One feature of my invention consists in the provision of a coin-chute in the. toll-box leading through the box to the exterior, so that a coin deposited in the chute will ass through the box and ,be refunded to-the epositor un-- less the coin is stopped-by the mechanism within the box, and the mechanism Within the toll-box which stops and controls the disposition of the coin is made dependent upon the'completion of the signaling-circuit to the central ofiice and is normally inopera tive to stop the coin, so that if the circuit or apparatus is out of order and the; central oflice cannot be signaled the" coin will not stay in the box, but will pass through and be refunded to the depositor.

, Another feature of my'invention consists of an electroma netic coin-distributin ap aratus in the toll-box for controlling the isposition of the deposited coin; an electric circuit for said coin-distributing apparatus, including a source of current; an electromagnetic switch, preferably'located at the, cen- ,.tral oflice, for changing the electrical condition of the circuit to cause the operation of the coin-distributing apparatus, arrd' lneans controlled through the agency' 'of the telephone-switch at the called station for actuating the'electromagnetic switch which con-' trols the coin-distributing apparatus. To describe this feature more particularly, I

'oft

preferably provide a polarized electromagnct in the toll-box at the substation of the line, said polarized electromagnethafvrrl a tilting armature and mechanism operate thereby .to stop the coin in its passage through the ,chute or to direct it intothe cash-box, according to the direction of movement of the armature. 'I-his polarized electromagnet is connected with thehne-circuit, which ineludes a line-signal at the central office and a -line-battery. Contacts are provided in the toll-box, which are adapted to be actuated by a coin deposited therein to close the .linecircuit, whereby urrent is passed through the polarized magiiet in a direction to cause said magnet to stop the falling coin.

At the central oflice abattery is provided in the plug-circuit, .the connections of said battery being such that when the answeringplug is connected with the toll-line in response to a signal transmitted, as above described, the current will flow in the same direction in which current previously flowed from the linebatterythat is, the position of the coin-distributing mechanism controlled by the polarized electromagnet in the tollbox will not be changed. 7

An electroma netlc switch is provided in the In -circuit for reversing the connections he attery in the plu circuit with the line, whereby the polarize coindistributin electroma et at the substation is actuated to throw t e-coin into the cash-box. When the plug-circuit is used .to connect the telephone-line with the called line in res onse to a call initiated .at the substationof t e firstmentioned or toll line, the electromagnetic reversing-switch is brought under the control of the called subscriber, refefably-by including said reversing-switc in alocal circuit controlled" by the 'su ervisory relay which is associated with t e called line.

When the called subscriber responds by,removing his telephone from its hook the cir;

cuit through the reversing-switch is closed and the switchactuated, whereby the!" 01erized electromagnet at the substation}, f the toll-line respondsto the reversal of current in its windings and throws its tilting armature to the other side, whereby the coin within the I chute is directed into the cash-; 0x.

If the-line of the called subscriber should be busy, so that connection withhis line could extending from not be had, as desired, or if for anyreason the called subscriber should not answer, the re versing-switch will not be operated, and when the central-office operator removes her answering-plug from the spring-jack of the toll-line and the subscriber at the toll-line substation replaces his telephone on its hook the armature of the coil -distributing magnet will fall back to its original position, leaving the chute clear, so that the coin may fall out and be refunded to the depositor. One pole v of the batteryin the plug-circuit at the central office grounded, and at the substation the deposit of a coin in the toll-boxthrows a ground upon one side of the telephone-line indepeiiident of the telephone-switch The telephone-switch is adapted in its alternative positions to open the other side of the line or to connect it with thethe first-mentioned side, and so to ground. Since the connecticns of the plug-circuit with the line may be reversed by the electromagnetic sv ch before referred to, I have provided tw super= visory relays for the toll-line, other subsidiary signal being under the control of both said relays acting jointly. The subscriber at the toll-line station may thus operate his supervisory signal by moving his telephone-switch, whether the connections of theplug-oircuit are reversed. or not, sinceone or the other of the relays will always respond to the opening of the line at the substation.

Another feature of my invention consists in mounting the movable contact-piece which is ei'igaged by a deposited coin in the toll-box electromagnet Whose near the p le of the circuit is oh ed thereby, and making the contachspring of iron or otherwise-providing itwith an armature portion which is adapted to be held by the magnet-pole when moved into contact therewith in closing the circuit. The' circuit is thus maintained closed independentof the deposited coin.

I will describe my invention more particu= larly by reference to the accompanying draw mg, which is a diagram illustrating by means symbols a telephone toll-line .a toll-station to a central office, with another line also extending from its substation. to the same central office, and the plug-circuit apparatus at the central office for connecting the two lines together, the system. being constructed and "operating in accordance with my invention.

The telephone toll-line consists of two limbs or line conductors 1 2, 'extendin from the multiple spring-jacks at the contra oflice C to the toll-line substation A. At the sub station the usual transmitting and receiving telephones and gravity telephone-switch are provided, together with a callbell for receiv- The call-bell is included in a permanent bridge across the limbs 1 2' of the telephone-line, said bridge including. acoudenser, so that the bridge is kept open as to of conventional the lamp or the ot the telephone-receiver is on its hook in the and the transmitter .c

ciated with the tel'phone-line at the substa tion. This toltbox is provided with a coinchute leading injthree sections a i a, through i the boxto a refund-tray a at the bottom,

The upper and lower sectio'ns a a of the coin chute are rigidly mounted ;,but the middle section a is hinged at its upper end upon a pin a and while it is further arranged in the position illustrated, in alinement with sections a a so that a coindropped in the to of the chute may pass through to the refun tray :1 without obstruction, yet said middle a is adapted to be swung about its pivot a to one side or'the other to stop the coin or di= rect it into the cash-box b-. The side of the middle section a has a hole therein, and a stop 0 is stationarily mounted upon the frame section of the toll-box opposite said hole, so that when the section a is swung to the right the arrest a falling coin. When the section 0, is swung to the left, its lower end is brought in position to re ister with the opening in the cash-box sotliat a coin falling through the chute is directed into the cash-box.

In the upper part of the tollbox the polariced fcciin-distributin electromagnet d is provided, said magnet avin a centrally-pivoted tiltirq armature d, W iich is connected, by means of an arm d and a link d with the pivoted. middle section a of the coin-chute to operate the same. When the polarized electromagnet is energized in one way, the tilting armature is thrown in a contra clockwise direction to swing the sectionn of the chute to the right and introduce the stop 0 therein, and when said e ectromagnet is energized in an uposite way the arma ture is tilted to the ether side and swings the section a to theleft to bring the lower end thereof in alinement with the opening in the cash-box. I The magnet d is provided with two windings c d e winding d is of low resistancesay fifty ohms-and the Winding d is of very high resistancesay five hundred ohms. The low-resistance winding of is included in series in a bridge of the line with thetelephone-receiver e and transmitter e, said bridge beingcontrolled by the switchhook f. The circuit may be traced as follows: from limb 2 ofthe telephone-line, through the winding d of the polarized coin-distribstop 0 will enter the chute through the hole to 1 uting electroma net to the switch-lever j, j

from the switchever f to its contact, thence throu h the transmitter e and receiver e to die! side or limb 1 of the line. When normal idle position of the substation apparatus the bridge is broken b the switchhook at its it between t "e Windingv d? The other winding the side of the upper section a of the coinchute extending down opposite the contact- 'pointlg'qand having a tongue which enters the c'ein chute through an opening in the side thereof in position to be engaged by a falling 3' coin. The iron contact-spring g is mounted opposite a laterally-extending pole-piece d,

provided upon" the core of the polarized electromagnet in position to be attracted and held thereby. The framework of the tollbox, with which the contact-spring is electrically'united, is connected to earth or other return-conductor.

At the central oilice the limbs 1 2 of the telephone-line terminate in springs of the linejacks h h and also in the springs of the answering-jack h. The connections of the linesprings of the answering-jack with the limbs of the telephone-line are reversed relatively to the connections of the line-springs of the line-jacks therewiththat is to say, the

lar description.

,I have aisc illustrated an ordinary telephone-line iiielldlng in two limbs 4 5 from a suit-cation L- to a spring-jack at the central .ofiico C, the telephone-linA 5 being provided with the usualtelephone-switch at the subparatus in the plug-circuit, the answeringplug m and the connecting-plug n are each provided with three contact surfaces or portions in accordance with the usual design. The tip and ring contacts m m of the answering-plug are connected respectively, with the tip and ring contacts 72/ n of its mate by cord strands or link conductors 6 7 through the windings of the usual repeating-coil.

The battery 0 is connected in a bridge of the plug-circuit between the windings of the repeating-coil, as shown and as is well understood in the art. The pole of thediattery which is connected with the link conductor 6, leading to the tip n of the connecting-plug, is grounded.

A supervisory relayp is included in the con'ductor7 between the ring-contact n of the connecting-plug and the battery 0, andsupervisory relays g g are included in con-: ductors 6 7, respectively, between the battery 0 and the tip and ring c0ntacts,'respectively, of the answering-plug.,

An electromagnetic reversing-switch'r is provided in the plug-circuit between the battery 0 and the answering-plug. This reversing-switch consists of two armatures r 7, connected, respectively, with the conductors 6 and 7, leading to the poles of battery 0. Outer contacts 7? r are connected, respectively, with the tip and ring contacts of the answering-plug m, and the inner contacts r 1' areconnected with the ring and tip con-'' tacts, respectively, of said plu in a reverse manner from the connection 0 the contacts 1* 1*. The-magnet Not the reversing-switch is placed between the armatures 1" r and is adapted when energized to attract said armatures, breaking their engagement with contacts r r and causing them to make engagement with contacts 7* 4-", respectively. The magnet 1* may be'of'l'ow resistance-say forty ohrns'and maybeincluded in a shunt-circuit 8 about the supervisory signal-lamp s, which is; associated with the connecting-plug. This circuii? is controlled by the supervisory relay 1:, w ch is associated with the connectingplug and responds to the flow of current in the calledline. lamp 8 is connected, as usual, in a conduct-or 9-,v extending from the third contact a of the The supervisory connecting=plug to .the free pole of the battery 0. A supervisory signal lanip t'is also provided for the answering-plug and is included in a conductor 10, extending from the'third contact m of the answering-plug A shunt-circuit 11 is provided for the supervisory :mnal-lamp t, said sh untcircuit containing a orty-ohm resistance and including serially the two armatures of the relays g and q, so that said shunt-circuit is controlled jointly by said relays. In order to close the low-resistance shunt around the signal-lamp t, it is necessary that both relays gland g be excitedthat is, either relay gor will, if deenergized, open the shunt 11 and cause the signal-lamp 't to be lighted.

While I have for convenience illustrated two batteries inthe drawing, (marked Z and 0,) it will be understood that in practice these may be'one and the same battery.

The operation of the system may be traced as follows: Supposing that subscriber m A desires telephonic communication with subscriber B, he first removes his telephonereceiver 6 from its switch-hook), thus closing the bridge across the limbs 1 2 ofbis tele- '*phoneline, and thenhe inserts a suitable I spin in the coin-chute a of his toll box.

ihe coin in passing down strikes the inwardly-projecting end of the iron contactspring g and forces the same over into engagementwith its-contacts'anvil g, thus closing the branch circuit 3 through the high-rd sistan'ce winding d of the electroi'hagnet to ground. Current will thus flow from the grounded-line signal-battery 'Z attire-central ofiice through the linen-clay. 7c, armature i 2 5 of the cut-off relay to the limb 1 of the telephon.e-line,tl1ence through the subscribers telephone apparatus to his switch-hook f, to the branch wire 3, and thence to ground hrough the Winding (Z of the electromagnet; The magnet bein energized, its pole-piece attracts and holds the iron contact-spring 9,

so thatthe circuit is held closed independent of the'coin. Current flows through the coil d of the magnet in a direction to throw the wise direction and swing the central vsection a of the coin-chute to the right, whereupon the stop 0 entering the coin-chute will. arrest the coin in its downward course.

Should the circuit or apparatus be out of order, so that the central ollice could not be signaled in this way, magnet-d of course would not be energized, and the central sec .t1on (t of the coin-chute rernannng 1n ahne 5 mentwith the lower section a the coin would pass through into the return-tray a and thus be reiundedto the depositor.

Circuit completed through the linesignal relay-. 5 at the central oifioe, the linelamp is lighted, and the operator perceiving the signal will insert her answering-plug mi into the answering-jack h of the toll-line. The ack 15' constructed to establish the connection of the plug-c1rcuitw1th thehne before corn letin the circuit which includes the out off'relay of the line, so that the flow of current will not be interrupted through the mag net (i at the substation. The-connection of the battery 0 withthe lhie by means of the answering-plug'is the same as the previous connection ofthe lin'e ba t .,i-fi that is, the directiog 'ifilbl'lfb currentiiowing will not he changed. It will be noted that whanswerin plug at times 'lral oilice sci '65 ed in to answenngjacl: f the lint, tho

2 5 tilting armature thereof ina contra-cloclr-' by way of the cut-oil relay of the called line,

grounded battery 0 of the plug-circuit instead of being connected with the limb 1 of th telephoneline will be connected with the limb 2 thereof, so that current will flow through the windings (Z and (Z of the mag net (i at the substation inseries. The flow ofi' current through the magnet will now no longer be dependent upon the telephoneswitch at the substation, since the currentis supplied over limb 2 of the line, which is in- 7 5' dependent of said switch.

I have omitted i'rom'the drawing the operators apparatus for listening in and ringing, since this is well known in the art, and its illustration would merely confuse the draw- 8o ing and obscure the more important features.

Having ascertained the number of, the

called subscriber, the operator theninserts the other or connecting plug of the pair into the spring-jack of the called line, This brings the supervisory relay 1) under the control of the. telephone-switch at the called stationthat is, station B. When the called subscribcr answ'ers by removing his telephone from its hook, he closes a low-resistance bridge of the line, whereby current from battery 0 is permitted to flow through the super- "visory relay 1), whichattraots its armature and closes the shunt-circuit 8, containing the magnet r of the reversing-switch. Current then ilows from. the grounded battery 0 through the low resi stance shunt-circuit 8 to the third contact n of the connectingplug and thence to ground in the usual manner W hen the magnet of the reversing switch receives current, its armatures 1" r are attracted, thus reversing the connection of the battery 0 with the toll-line 1 2. This reversal of current causes the polarized electromagnet cZ-atthe substation. to tilt its annature in a clockwise direction, thus swing ng the section a of the coin-chute to the left, releasing the coin and directing the same lnto the cash-box. Should the ealled party notrespond, the subscriber atthe toll-line station may attract the attention of the operatorby vibrating his telephone switch hookj, thus opening and closing the circuit of the limb, 1 of the telephone-line which is connectedat the central o'liice with the side 6 of the plug-circuit which 7 includes the relay q. Since there is a perms nent ground on'the other side 2 of the telephone-line at the substation by way of the two windings of themagnet d, the relayg when the reversing-switch is inert will remain excited, and when the subscriber vibrates his telephone switch-hook to open and close the circuit of the other side relay (2 will alternately be energized and deenergized, thus alternately completing and breaking the 1t about the signal-lamp t, wh by said is caused to flash. If after 3 called N- vflirts answered and the reversin -switch 130 has been operated the calling subscriber at therewith at the central office, the operator would inform the subscriber of that fact and tellihim to replace his telephone on its hook and that his coin would be refunded to him. She thereu on removes her answering-plug from the j ck of his line, thus substituting the line-battery on the limb 1 for the battery of the lug-circuit which is connected with the lim 2. The limb 1 being controlled by the tele hone-switch, when the subscriber at the tol -line replaces his telephone on its switch the circuit of the magnet (I will be broken, and the magnet being denergized will allow the central section a of the coinchute to swing back to its normal vertical osition, thus releasing the 'coinand allowing it to fall into the return-tray. The iron con tact-spring g will simultaneously be released from the ole-piece of the magnet and will move bac to its normal position within the coin-chute.
